My AI Lead Gen Bot Failed For 5 Weeks: A Lesson in Calendar & Revenue Focus

Are you busy, or are you productive? In this weekly update, Harmonious at Lunch host Brandon Smith gets transparent about how a simple scheduling request exposed major cracks in his own productivity system. He shares the candid story of discovering his automated AI lead generation "robots" had been silently broken for five weeks, potentially costing the company significant revenue opportunities.

This episode is a real-world case study in applying the "Signal vs. Noise" framework to your business. Brandon details the exact steps he took to execute a complete calendar overhaul, why he ditched third-party apps like Calendly for Google Calendar's native scheduler, and how he uses aggressive time blocking to protect his focus. Learn how to identify your highest-value activities (the "signal") and ruthlessly eliminate the distractions that destroy your momentum.
